PS3 come Digital video recorder

Sul sito della terrasoft c'è questa notizuola: (intanto la posto in inglese poi con calma la tradurrò o se c'è qualcuno che sa l'inglese meglio di me - tutti credo - ben venga)

Turn a PS3 into a PVR (personal video recorder):

So you've bought the most expensive video game console currently on the market, and installed Linux on it. Now what?

Well, how about turning your PS3 into a full-blown PVR? All you need is Linux, MythTV, and a Plextor ConvertX PX-TV402U, a pretty nifty little box that has a TV tuner, a variety of video inputs for handling cable and satellite broadcasts, and support for MPEG-1/2/4 and DivX compression.

You'll need some Linux drivers for that PX-TV402U, and a couple of patches to help the driver work on the PS3.

The upside: you've got a PS3 running MythTV and serving as a complete PVR. The downside: if you want to make sure you never miss a recording, you have to keep your MythTV running all the time, meaning you can't play PS3 games.

And you could probably put together a cheaper DIY PVR to run MythTV if you really wanted to. But all that aside, color me impressed.

ho omesso eventuali link che comunque trovate nel post originale: http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/16/turn-a-ps3-into-a-pvr

Molto interessante.

Sembra di capire che comunque serve un tuner Tv esterno (usb suppongo).

Credo di si

Sì e il plextor in questione oltretutto costa 215 euro!

accidenti che mazzata molto meglio una scheda che registra su pc, no?
